Seeing this, Yang Xi smiled sincerely. “Old Mr. Shen, I wish you good fortune and longevity. I was in a hurry this time and my father didn’t rush back. He said that he would visit you as soon as he rushed back.”
Shen Wei nodded and felt that this Yang Xi was much more pleasing to the eye. At least she was a smart person. It was good to have good judgment.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Chun, who was already a little stiff. Then, he looked at Zhao Kai, who was smiling behind her. Old Mr. Shen said, “The son of the Jiang family is here too? I haven’t congratulated you on finding back your ancestry. With you in the Jiang family in the future, Jiang Wei will be much more relaxed.”
Jiang Chun turned her head mechanically and met Zhao Kai’s smiling face.
He smiled very naturally. “Thank you, Old Mr. Shen. I also brought a gift on behalf of the Shen family. My father specially prepared an extra one. He can’t come because he has something on, so he wants to apologize to you.”
Not many people knew that Zhao Kai had returned to the Jiang family. Xu Li naturally didn’t want others to know that the Jiang family had such a son, and Jiang Wei didn’t intend to announce it before he took over the power. Therefore, only some people who were on good terms with the Jiang family knew. Unexpectedly, Shen Wei actually revealed the matter directly.
“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Shen Wei nodded as well.
Although the two families did not have a good relationship behind the scenes, Shen Jun had already told his family about Zhao Kai’s matter. Shen Wei naturally had to be good at pretending.
Jiang Chun’s face was already pale. She could feel the gazes of the people around her, but she could not move.
“Sister, are you alright?” Zhao Kai walked over with a worried expression. “Are you sick? Waiter, where is the lounge?”
He looked really anxious and the concern on his face did not seem to be fake. At this moment, someone beside him began to ask for water. A few girls who were on good terms with Jiang Chun went over to support her.
Hearing Zhao Kai call her sister, Jiang Chun almost fainted. However, on such an occasion, she could not make a scene like Yang Ting.
She accepted the other people’s help. At this moment, she only wanted to leave this place.
When she passed by Wen Nian, she smiled and said, “Jiang Chun, congratulations on finding your brother. Congratulations, congratulations!”
Wen Nian was an actress to begin with, and the expression on her face was even more sincere than Zhao Kai’s. “If you’re not feeling well, let your brother accompany you. This way, friends like us can be at ease. Indeed, it’s better to have family.”
Jiang Chun was so angry that she could not speak. She could only look at Wen Nian with hatred in her eyes before turning around immediately. She could not let Zhao Jiao see her like this.
After all, Zhao Jiao was experienced. Of course, she knew what the little girls were thinking. However, she only felt relieved. Sure enough, her daughter-in-law was more capable. She scolded people without using dirty words and could even anger them to death. Zhao Jiao added another point to her in her heart.
Yang Ting and Zhang Fang knew that they would only be ignored if they continued to stay here. They could only leave quickly. Jiang Chun had already left before she reached the lounge. She did not want to really act like a brother and sister with Zhao Kai. She was not as good at acting as Wen Nian.
Now that there was finally no one annoying at the birthday banquet, Wen Nian felt much more relaxed. There were many elders around who came to talk to her. Many people had just verified that Abbot Si Kong had taken the initiative to give her prayer beads. Now, they all wanted to build a relationship with Wen Nian.
“Grandpa, Grandma, it was a coincidence that Wen Nian met Abbot Si Kong. She’s really not an acquaintance of Abbot Si Kong.” Shen Jun couldn’t take it anymore and quickly came out to help. “The Buddhist Dharma is all about fate. Some things can’t be forced.”
Elder Zhou still looked at Wen Nian reluctantly. “Xiao Wen, can’t you make an exception? I don’t think the abbot can only have this string of prayer beads, right? There must be other Dharma artifacts!”
Wen Nian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Elder Zhou, but Master isn’t a wholesaler. Why don’t you choose something suitable to bless?”
Elder Zhou let out a long sigh. “The first incense stick of the Xuanhuan Temple costs millions of yuan every year. Would the Master bless it casually? I don’t even have the chance to see him.”
Seeing that even his old friend was a little envious, Shen Wei said proudly, “My grandson is right. You can’t force it.. My granddaughter-in-law is still the lucky one! As expected, my Shen family is still the lucky one!”
